VPL

Set on bridging the gap between sportswear and underwear, stylist Victoria Bartlett launched VPL (aka Visible Panty Line) in 2003. The labels ethos"underwear, outerwear, anywhere"translates into utilitarian, undergarment-inspired styles that arent just for wearing underneath. Colorblocked camisoles, bra-top dresses, paneled boy briefs, and cut-out bralettes are all signatures for the contemporary collection, with detailing like wide elastic straps and zigzag stitches evoking vintage innerwear. VPL has gradually evolved to include accessories, bags, jewelry, and shoes, all for the woman who eschews the conventionally sexy.
